For fear some other missile might fol- low, the officers arrested, wlth the knowledge of the Presidential party, Mrs. Sax Some of the crowd said tho woman threw the pancake malicious ly, and others said itwas an accident. The woman herself said she loved Mrs. Cleveland and did not wish to harm or insult her, that she became excited like the other people, forgot what she was doing and threw q pancake she was about to take frora the griadle, not thinking where it would fall.

 It is well known that the sahara is not everywhere synonymous with des- ert, and that region, despite the dry. ness of it's climate and tho general aridity of ita surface. possesses many a well cultivated and thickly inhabited easis, where the combination of the two clements of sun and water has produced maryels in the way of yege- tation, The Lower Sahara is an i'm. mense basin of artesian waters, and at times there IS superabundance. but tho number of cultivated tracts is in- ereasing very rapidly, there being no fewer than forty-three oases in the oued-Rir, which, after peried of thirty years, hss 13,0O0 inhabitants, 52O palm trees in full bearing tbat is, which have been planted more than seven years -l20,00O trees between one and seven years old 100000 fruit trees, while thevalue of :he dates grown saeh year averages ft00,o00.
 The cases of Lagbouat and Oued MIzi and those of Yeryyille and Ain. Sana have 100000 palm trees, and those of Figuig 1400O0, while Mzab, with it's 30,000 inhabitants, nearly all shepherds or merchants, cultivates 100000 Fab, together with the saha- ra slope of the Auees, has 50 oases which grow 100000 palm trees and 500,000 fruit trees, sout. with pop- ulation Of 15,00O, has 1500O0 palm trees of the choicest kind and over 5000 fruit trees. Lastly. the various cases of Ouargia have over 100000 palm trees and 100000 fruit trees.
 All these results, to say nothing of the trade in wool, tue cultivation of tobacco, vegetables, corn, the vine and other things grown beneath the shel. ter ot the palm trees, and the raising of ostriches which, fit is considered might oe made as profitable as it is at the cape, have been arrived at partly by the natives and partly by tbe French, though ths latter had not be- gun to cpiGRize Sahara until within

Missionaries Robbed and Driven from
North Carolina.
RALEIGH, N. O., April ia party
OF Mormon elders came from Tennes-
see into the western part of this state
some weeks ago. They at once began
work in making converts, particularly
among women. This elected great
indignation on the part of people in
parts of Buncomhe and Henderson
Counties. An organization fully
differed has been effected for the ex-
pulsion of these Mormons. The lat
ter have been duly notified in writing
to leave immediately. IF they do not
do so tar and feathers will be used
and perhaps worse punishment will
be inflicted. The people arein earnest
and determined to expel them. Par
ties of Mormons have been at work in
the mountain section here and there.
Some of them were nearly beaten to
death and driven into Georgia by the
indignant people.

A Fatal COLLAPSE

A wreck on the Chicago & Northwestern
road near Palatine, ILL.,, on the 18th, at
tracted large crowd OF people, who con-
gregated un er and around large water
tank containing $4,000 gallons OF water.
In the afternoon, while the crowd were
gaping at the wreckers a sharp crack was
heard above, and the people scattered in
all directions. Nothing further happening,
the crowd again gathered. Suddenly with
out further warning the great iron hoops
holding the timbers in place burst stimuli
taneously. The flooring and supports re-
manned intact, but the rest of the structure
and it's burden Of water was projected in
all directions upon the people below, crush

a loss OF half q hundred lives. Three men
and two boys were killed and large num-
Der of others more or less injured.

TREMPEAEEAU IN RUINS.
The Business Portion of the Village
Swept by Fire This Morning.

The Business Portion of the Village
Swept by Fire This Morning.
LA CROSSE Wis, April 14.-The en-
tire business portion Of the village of
Trempaaleau was destroyed by g. fire
which broke out shortly after mid
night last night. The estimated loss
is $40, 900, with comparatively small
insurance. Trempealeau is located
on the river twenty miles above La
Crosse. The business is nearly all
done on Front Street, thoroughfare
running parallel with Levee. The fire
originated in the rear of G. E. McGil-
vray's hardware store, from supposed
spontaneous combustion. The flames
spread rapidly eastward, burning
everything on the street from Masonic
temple to Hankey's dry goods store,
q brick block. The entire population
fought the fire with buckets without
avail, until it was stopped by inter
vening brick walls. Among those burned
out are: Frank Wilbur, livery
stable; J. s. Robinson, jewelry; Will
lam Blume, meat market; G. E. Nc
Gifvray, hardware; G. Fl. Angel, dr.
goods; r. A. Goodhue, books and
stationery; Mrs. Humphrey, restaur-
ant; J. s. Pierson, drug store; the Sey-
mour Block used for carriage paint
ing; Allen & Gibbs, groceries; American
Express Office. The exact figures of
individual losses and insurance cam
not be obtained. A large part of the
various stocks of goods are saved.
Trempealeau is thriving village in
Trempealeau County, on the bank of
the river of the same name, and about
fifteen miles from La Crosse, on the
line of the Chicago and North Western
Railroad. It has O. population of
about 600. It's principal manufac-
tories are feed and grist mill and a
single and planning mill.

FIFTEEN DROWNED.

The Loss of Life by the Dieppe Disaster
Greater Than Supposed.
LONDON, April 14.-Further partic-
ulars of the loss near Dieppe of the
New Haven and Dieppe packet Vic
toria show that after the vessel struck
the rocks, the passengers rushed to
the stern, and a terrible scene ensued,
while endeavors were being made to
float the life-boats. At last when q
boat was lowered and fifteen men
and women had embarked in it.,
lady's shawl became entangled in
pulley OF the stern davit
and caused the boat to descend to the
sea bow foremost. Most of the occu-
pants were thrown out and drowned.
Two ladies jumped from the deck of
the steamer into the boat after it
reached the water and overturned it..
Other boats were then safely launched
and succeeded in reaching Fecamp,
rescuing on the way with boat-hooks
two persons who had been swept out
to sea. Mrs. Braustocker was saved.
Thecaptain of the Victoria maintained
great GOODNESS and guaranteed the
safety of all on board if they would
but obey his orders.

Assisting Four Prisoners to Escape From
Jail.
LAMAR, Mo-, April 15.-Between 10
and IL o'clock last night the prison
ers in jail here escaped by saving one
bar off in the corridor going through
the plank floor and outside of the stone
foundation. They were J. W. West,
convicted of murder, and sentenced
for twenty five years in the ,peniten-
tiary, with a stay of execution until
the 25th of this month; W. A.
Turner, g. confidence man of Ottawa,
Kas., and the two Prewits of this
county, petty thievers. A reward of
SITS has been offered by the sheriff.
Mrs. Turner is supposed to have fur
nished them means of escape, as she
was q constant visitor to the Jail and
was generally accompanied by one A.
M. Stearns, of Independence, Kas.
Parties are in pursuit of the fugitives.

party Of explorers were inside at the
time. In an adjacent working, how
ever, were Albert Thompson, another
of the firm, and several others, who
were making examinations of the
works. They we're startled by r.
heavy explosion, and knowing that
the party had entered the other slope,
they FASTENED thither to investigate.
About $50 yards from the foot
OF the slope they came up
on Messrs. Short and Thomp-
son and the two ladies lying upon the
ground, some CT them unconscious
and all OF them frightfuly burned and
mangled. Miss Keiter's face was
burned beyond recognition; she died
the same day. MISS Shaul had @ leg
badly fractured and was terribly
bruised and burned, but may recover.
Shorts head is mass Of
cuts and is badly burned.
He remained unconscious and his
recovery is doubtful. Thompson is
painfully, but not fatally bruised. The
precise cause of the explosion is I'M
known, but the supposition is that
the party arried g. naked lamp and
encountered body OF fire damp. The
lady victims are about 20 years Of
age. Miss Shaul was to have been the
valedictorian at the coming COM
increment OF Vassar college.

FATALITIES AT A FIRE.

Disastrous Blaze at Chicago This Morning
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 13.-The FIVE.
story marble front building, 1O6 to
112 Wabash Avenue, was discovered
to be on fire at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning and for four hours thereafter
nearly every fire engine in the city
fought to stay the flames. The uild-
ing was occupied by John J. McGrath,
formerly OF Milwaukee, with very
extensive line of wall paper valued at
fully $15O,OOO, and which will prove
q total loss. The building was injured
to the extent of $4,000. The insur-
ance is understood to be light. Pipe
man Michael Burns, while standing at
a third-story window, was caught by
q sheet of flame and fell into the
building, losing his life. Lieut.. John
e. Haberlee fell from ladder at a
third-story window and was fatally
injured.
Mr.. McGrath, the owner of the stock
of wall paper, declared this forenoon
that the loss would reach 100000.
1t was probably the largest stock car
ried by any firm in America. The
loss on the stock is estimated by the
insurance people at from $4OO, 900 to
100000. The only ascertained in
surance on the stock is $50, 500, 80
that the loss to McGrath is very
heavy. The building was owned by
Mrs. Maria Lehman. Loss, $35, 900;
insurance $39, 900.

1t Reaches Pittsbure.

The war between the stove molders and
the manufacturers has reached Pittsburg,
and from present Indications there will be
general strike. The manufacturers have
made g. bold and defiant move. They
have formed an alliance known as the
Stove Founders National Defense Associa.
ton, and this organization is conducting
the warfare on the part of the
manufacturers. On the 18th the
manufacturers, members of the
Defense Association, received confidential
circular from the secretary of their asso-
citation, which, in reviewing the strike at
st. Louis, states that the patterns of the
boycotted St. Louis firm will be sent to all
the manufacturers in the country, and that
on q certain day the firms will be notified
by telegraph to have holdings made from
the same. The molders in Pittsburg say
they will refuse to mold from these pat
terms, and that any attempt to force them
to do so will precipitate strike in all the
foundries of the country.

Fire Causes Great Excitement in the
Cook County Jail.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 15.-There was
a panic in the county jail shortly be-
fore 1870 O'Clock this forenoon.
caused by the knowledge that fire
had broken out in the insane depart
ment of the jail. An insane man who
was incarcerated last week had sue
ceeded by some means in firing his
bedding, and the smoke soon filed the
corridors, creating the impress
sion that the jail was on fire.
The news was communicated rapidly
throughout the jail, and every prepar-
alton was made to take out the pris-
oners should the emergency require.
An alarm brought six engines to the
scene, but the flames were extinguished
by means of the jail apparatus. No
one was injured and no serious dam
age occurred.

LINCOLN'S REMAINS.
The Lincoln Guard Finishes Its Task
The Martyred Presidents Body FL
nalIy at Rest.

The remains or President and Mrs.
Lincoln were privately taken from
their secret resting place on the 18th
and inferred IN the north vault of the
Lincoln monument in Oak Ridge GEM
etery, near Springfield, ILL., Less than
q dozen persons, members of the Lin
coin Monument Association and Lin
coin Guard OF Honor, were present.
For years the whereabouts of the re-
10 aims OF the great president and his
wife have been vested iE mystery from
anxiety that they would be stolen to
obtain n ransom for their re-
turn. The actual attempt to
carry off the bodies in 1877
| was the moving cause OF the forma-
ton of the guard of honor, which or
ganization secreted them and has now
surrendered the charge. Great care
| was taken to Keep the event pro-
found secret. At the appointed hour
| few besides the little knot of guards
were present. TIE secret grave was
| directly under the north base of the
obelisk, about thirty feet from the
north entrance. but only accessible
through the south door. A door on
the north of the place where the Lin
coin relics are kept, leads
through g. long passage first
east, then north, then west,
and then south to a. recess. Here,
about three feet below the surface of
the floor, were deposited the remains
of Abraham Lincoln and his wife.
When the guards, with the help of g.
few laborers, had exhumed the coffin,
and removed the lid of that of the
president, his face was seen to be in q
remarkable state of preservation.
Those who stood around, and had
known Lincoln when alive, easily dis
cerneG the features. They were very
distinct.
In the north vault the floor had
been taken up. A hole eight feet long
by six feet wide and one-half deep,
bricked up and cemented, had been
prepared. The PRESIDENTS coffin was
placed in this grave on the west side.
The coffin containing Mrs. Lincoln's
remains was then brought to the
vault and placed on the east side
of her husband. A brick arch
was then built over the collins
This was covered with cement, mixed
with small broken rock. Two guards
will be on duty at the tomb until the
cement becomes hard. The marble
sarcophagus in which the public have
supposed the remains to have been, is
still in the vault Without further
ceremony the remains of the husband
and wife were left to molder together
in the grave.
